Abstract:

Techniques for preliminary analysis of various tall building systems subjected to lateral loads have been studied herein. Three computer programs written in Matlab® graphical user interface language for use on any personal computer are presented. Two of these programs incorporate interactive graphics. A program called Wall_Frame_2D is introduced for two-dimensional analysis of shear wall-frame interactive structures, using the shear-flexural cantilever analogy. The rigid outrigger approach was utilized to develop a program called Outrigger Program to analyze multi-outrigger braced tall buil

Abstract:

The consulting firm Atkins has developed a tool to help constructers plan urban areas but the tool is lacking data about embodied carbon in Sweden. The embodied carbon is the total carbon dioxide equivalents that are emitted from the material used in constructing a residential building as well as the energy used at the construction site and during demolition. In this thesis, the embodied carbon for a concrete framed building and a wooden framed building is calculated and presented. The mapping of embodied carbon for the two different framed buildings is done with a life cycle assessment perspe

Abstract:

In the response of three dimensional frame structures to seismic loading, it has been observed that columns common to intersecting frames are especially prone to damage. This presumably results from the combination of forces from the frames; the axial loads are additive, but the moments interact biaxially. Two procedures for analysis of three dimensional frames are studied: time step analysis under given seismic records, using the programme DRAINTABS; and a pseudo-nonlinear modal analysis based on the substitute structure method of Shibata and Sozen, using the programme PITSA. Both these prog

The traditional approach for the design of steel portal frame building systems is based on the idealised two-dimensional behaviour of a bare internal frame in the system. This approach totally ignores the integral action of other structural components in the system. In order to design the portal frame building system based on its 'true' threedimensional behaviour, it is necessary that other structural components such as steel roof and wall cladding systems and end frames (or their effects) are included in the analysis. In the UK and USA, this has been achieved using the principles of str

Abstract:

Light-frame shearwall assemblies have been successfully used to resist gravity and lateral loads, such as earthquake and wind, for many decades. However, there is a need for maintaining the structural integrity of such buildings even when large openings in walls are introduced. Wood portal frame systems have been identified as a potential alternative to meet some aspects of this construction demand. The overarching goal of the research is to develop wood portal frame bracing systems, which can be used as an alternative or in combination with light-frame wood shearwalls. This is done through in

The emphasis on seismic design and assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure has shifted from force-based to performance-based design and assessment to accommodate strength and ductility for required performance of building. RC frame structure may suffer different levels of damage under seismic-induced ground motions, with potentials for formation of hinges in structural elements, depending on the level of stringency in design. Thus it is required to monitor the seismic behaviour and performance of buildings, which depend on the structural system, year of construction and the leve

Abstract:

Today, tall buildings are generally built with a central core that transfers the loads down to the ground. The central core takes up a large part of the floor space and there is less room for the actual purpose of the building, such as offices and apartments. The consequence of this is also less rental profit. At a certain height of the building, the central core will not alone manage to keep the building stable. Therefore it needs to be connected with outriggers to withstand the horizontal forces. The Tubed Mega Frame system developed by Tyréns is designed without the central core and the pur

Within the context of the seismic analysis of masonry buildings, the application of verification procedures based on nonlinear analyses is now widespread and requires reliable and computationally efficient modelling strategies. Among other possible techniques, the so-called “Equivalent Frame Method” (EFM) is one of the most used, especially in practice engineering. This simplified approach allows to describe the global in-plane behavior of the building and is based on the assumption that the nonlinear response of each wall is concentrated in specific masonry panels which are defined a priori

Abstract:

Metal building frames are typically designed using welded prismatic and web-tapered members with doubly-symmetric and/or singly-symmetric cross sections. Until recently, the base U.S. provisions for design of frames with web-tapered members were provided in the AISC ASD (1989) and LRFD (1999) Specifications. Unfortunately, these previous AISC provisions address only a small range of practical designs. As a result, metal building manufacturers have tended to develop their own methods for design of the wide range of nonprismatic member geometries and configurations encountered in practice.

Abstract:

Wood-frame shear wall structures are widely used for residential and commercial buildings. These buildings are lightweight, have very ductile connections and includes multiple load paths. The main objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the seismic performance of a wide range of wood-frame shear wall building designs under the influence of modeling and analysis parameter variations. The first step towards the broad objective of seismic performance evaluation is to identify the different modeling and analysis parameters that can have a potential influence in the seismic response varia
